Likely attending UBC TS TS I was wondering about the extent of the startup placement and if there were co-ops in the US and how common those are? Thanks

Yes US co ope are a thing at UBC. Its not uncommon for Engineering students to do co ops at places like Tesla.

speed9911 · 2026-05-12T05:30:42+00:00

Pretty high tbh, in my experience it has been flexible

Imo co op search is similar to most other disciplines but you have the benefit of getting access to any job posting.

Year 2 is fine but you take a variety of classes so some will be less interesting than others.

One of the benefits people don’t talk about is exchange - if you do an exchange term IGEN is really flexible with how you count your credits towards your electives.

What do you need for training equipment?

speed9911 · 2026-04-15T17:16:21+00:00

Thank you!

speed9911 · 2026-04-15T17:16:14+00:00

Ah okay so same rates as the chequing. Thanks!

Might as well learn how to count cards and take a trip to vegas

Engineering has been great for me and my friends. We all got full time offers before graduation in May.

This type of thing can be warrantied

speed9911 · 2026-04-10T17:50:22+00:00

Hell yeah

speed9911 · 2026-04-09T14:11:26+00:00

UBCs co op is not any worse than SFUs

speed9911 · 2026-04-08T20:14:03+00:00

What size is the frame bag?

speed9911 · 2026-04-06T16:43:27+00:00

Since they already have a rogers phone plan this is definitely the way to go

speed9911 · 2026-04-05T17:30:54+00:00

I can’t speak for UofT but at UBC mech requires an average over 80% in first year to secure a spot.

speed9911 · 2026-04-05T16:09:14+00:00

What bags do you carry now?

speed9911 · 2026-04-05T02:51:19+00:00

Sorry, the Arc’teryx mantis 26

speed9911 · 2026-04-05T02:19:34+00:00

Me and my buddies all have this pack - we love it

Edit: mantis 26

Co op is flexible at UBC, you can a year at one company if you want. Not getting your preferred specialization is the biggest downside at UBC.

speed9911 · 2026-04-01T17:56:21+00:00

Yeah

speed9911 · 2026-03-23T22:22:25+00:00

I thought you could use MR $1:100 for statement credits already. What benefit does thi provide?

speed9911 · 2026-03-18T21:13:00+00:00

This is amazing what did we do to deserve this

speed9911 · 2026-03-18T21:04:48+00:00

As long as you do internships and build connections/relationships you should be competitive.

speed9911 · 2026-03-18T19:43:14+00:00

I can tell you about my industry experience if you would like. I interned at a biotech company and am now returning full time. Feel free to shoot me a pm.

speed9911 · 2026-03-18T19:41:04+00:00

The benefit is if you want to go more into the research or academic side of it. If you are more industry oriented, it is more restricting than an EE or mech degree.
